Air Fryer Shrimp
This Air Fryer Shrimp recipe brings the taste of summer into your home with easy-to-make, juicy, and crispy shrimp, perfect for busy weeknights or family gatherings.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 pound frozen shrimp I prefer using frozen shrimp because it saves time.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil Adds flavor and helps the spices adhere to the shrimp.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder The garlic flavor makes everything more scrumptious!
- 1 teaspoon paprika Gives the shrimp a lovely color and a hint of smokiness.
- Salt and pepper Essential for bringing out all the flavors.
- Lemon wedges For serving; fresh lemon juice brightens everything up.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the frozen shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper until evenly coated.
Cooking
- Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- Once done, the shrimp should be pink and opaque. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
Notes
For extra crispiness, don't overcrowd the basket, and if you have a smaller air fryer, cook in batches.
